I actually did work on the model today and, I think, managed to solve one problem I've been having. It's mostly cosmetic; not enough to bother posting a pic. :p

Hmm.... more views? Orthographic, perhaps?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Cool. :)
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

That Vulcan-esque one would work best IMHO as some sort of experimental subspace ship, since those vertical wings would suggest something radically different.

Wow, totally sick dude!
*Throws up*
:p

Thats a bloody awsome cruiser. :D
I hope you don't ruin it by using FS2's textures though.
Please make some original ones, or get someone to make some new textures for you.
Hell I'll do it if no-one else more suitable is on offer, just don't downgrade the model with the textures...

Great work! :D

I didn't say that at all - I just suggested that the unusual design was suggestive of an unusual purpose, not just a run-of-the-mill ship. :)

You just seemed disappointed by the design.

Nope. Although my heart is still set on #3 for FSU, that ship is a fine looking model. :)

*falls out of chair*
Those are the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

I'm not keen, TBH I think the first one looks a bit disorganised in terms of design / layout (no offense intended, technical quality looks very good).  The second one looks promising, can't really judge until there are textures :)
